At least its a good game and ot crappy halo 3.

Agreed.

Hello Fellow Gamers. Congrats Rockstar. It took Both Platforms for RockStar to achieve this level of sales. Now imagine if all games were released on Both Platforms (Hint for other game companies).

Just goes to show a single platform game will never outdo a Multi-platform game. Nintendo will never ever break this record with any game. If M$ does Multi, They might. The Money is in the software, not hardware.

@Nemesis IX & blacktiger - Did you both buy Halo3? If so nuff said about it. Name a SONY game that has broken the HALO series sale record. Answer.. NONE. SO back off HAlO3. PLEASE get over HALO3. Are you both upset that it sold better than anything Sony has had so far? Gears of War 2 is going to set it's own record sales. This year is going to be great.

yup i had halo 3, finished it on legendary and got almost 1,000 achievements points in a day, played 81 matches on live won 74 of them and got fed up of morons playing it so got rid of it. I don't like the ps3, don't have one and am not a fanboy i play gears nearly every day i kick ass on it. gears 2 will be legend can't wait but doubt it will break records neither will MGS 4. I will say though again Halo 3 sucks balls, terrible game no improvement in any department on halo 2.

HFG. @Nemesis IX - What's your gamer tag. I would enjoy playing gears with or against you.

have a guess, Nemesis IX. few stats, have about 14,000 kills and 12,000 deaths, over 1,000 head shots, snipes my favourite weapon. i'm normaly on at 10pm GMT so sned me a friend request
